I am so irritated by the constant stream of crap tabloids pump into our mainstream of media, and the fact they dare to call themselves a NEWSpaper is beyond frustration.
Looking at the front of The Sun, which in strewn across the dining room table every evening, I can see the usual rubbish. "The good office guide sex party" which entails how to get a shag at your office christmas party. This is the sort of thing you would perhaps find in a 'lads mag' like FHM or Maxim, but not a mainstream paper.
Underneath is the headline "Our Hell" about that woman who is has been cleared of killing her kids. This is news but the generic basis is annoying. Whenever a person or persons have been through an ordeal it is "Our Hell" "Our Pain" "Our Vitriol" "Our [choose from list of words that mean the same thing]", however if the case had gone the other way and ruled them guilty the tabloids would use the other generic preset and the headline would be, "Plain Sick" "You Sickos" "Rot in hell you freaks" or something similar.
It seems Jonny Wilkinson has replaces David Beckham in the "Sports bloke we can write 6 pages about every day to fill room and include lots of pictures of him stretching" section. Yesterday the Rugby player had a minor car accident and we were faced with "Oh So Brave Jonny" "You poor little mite, let me rub your feet" headlines. He was especially commended because he was found training a few hours later, because he should have just sat down with a nice cup of tea for a few hours, or moved to Spain and tried to make it big over there. Whichever.
There are always the same pullouts inside which have Carol Smilee telling us to remortage our house, Carol Vordeman telling us we need a loan and some skinny bint telling us all we need to loose 10 stone on the "random surname" diet because it will make us happier. I'm happy as I am thank you very much.
The sport is mediocre and the politics coverage is laughable. I wouldnt consider myself to be a mastermind but I know that Ian Huntley is a bad man without the daily 3 page spread detailing why he is so nasty and lots of pictures with captions alone the lines of "look at him, you can FEEl the evil."
*end rant*

I love tabloids.
So entertaining.
Besides, do people even take them seriously anymore?
It's only a matter of time until they become harmless... :-D

All the way through.
Where can i find an example of such comments?
You obviously don't read the paper every day like I do. It makes me laugh.

Thats nonsense. They may be a Tory paper, but they certainly arent pro BNP.

My parents get the Mail. I love reading it, it somehow manages to be sexist, racist and anti-government all at the same time. Yet still claims to be the country's best paper.

I like the portability of a tabloid. Sometimes trying to read the financial times is a bit like wrestling a grizzly bear.
